All biologically active glucocorticoids are 1 lp-hydroxylated. Enzyme catalyzed oxidation to the 1 1-0x0 form inactivates them; biological potency is restored when the 1 1-0x0 group is again reduced.* Mediation of this reversible process has been attributed to 1 lp-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (1 lp-HSD), an enzyme widely distributed in animal tissues. 2 Attempts to attribute a meaningful biological role to this enzyme have thus far not provided insight into its function in specific tissues. Our reexamination of the literature describing 1 lp-HSD, bolstered by our own studies, has led us to propose that the behavior of 1 IP-HSD is inconsistent with that of a single reversible enzyme. We are presenting an alternative model (FIG. 1) in which the observed net interconversion of the 11-0x0 and 1 lp-hydroxy groups is the consequence of the action of independent 1 lp-dehydrogenase (1 1-DH) and 11-oxoreductase (1 1-OR) a~ tivities.~ Both activities are membrane bound. We consider the location of 11-DH and 1 1-OR within the endoplasmic reticulum to be an important component of the model, 4 because it provides a physical structure within which the activities of the enzymes are coordinated. We recently reviewed the evidence supporting our view that the activity of Ilp-HSD is the consequence of the net effects of the actions of 11-DH with an equilibrium constant strongly favoring oxidation, and 1 1-OR, its counterpart, favoring the reverse reaction. Our conclusions are based in part on (1) the great variation of oxidation/reduction ratios between tissue^;^(2) selective retardation of oxidation or reduction by competitive inhibitors $ and (3) changes in oxidation1 reduction ratios during pre-and postnatal de~ elopment.~ Analysis of Arrhenius plots, which relates temperature and enzyme velocity, shows discontinuities in the energy of activation for 1 1-OR, but not 1 1-DH7 (FIG. 2). The Arrhenius profiles are interpreted to signify that 1 1-DH and 1 1-OR are in different environments within the endoplasmic reticulum.* In rat liver, 11-OR, frequently more active than 1 1-DH initially, is rapidly and completely inactivated because of its greater lability. The activity of rat liver 1 1-DH embedded in the microsomal matrix often increases significantly in a nonspecific manner when the membrane is perturbed by treatments that alter the phospholipid structure, for example, detergent or pho~ pholipase.~ This process of latency release does not occur with 1 1-OR. The ability of phospholipases to inactivate 1 1-OR, but not 1 1-DH, is in accord with the evidence that the two activities are present in different matrix environments. a Original work described was supported by US Public Health Service grant DK-37094.
